tion. appertains to make and use the same.

This invention has general reference to display stands; and it is especially directed to that classof'deyices which are employed 1 forexhibiting such goods, merchandise, and apparel, which are usually worn upon the head of a person, and for various other purposes, such asthe trimming of ladies hats, arranging the hair for ladies" coifi'ure, in teaching hair dressing, and so forth.

I This invention consists, essentially, in the novel and peculiar combination of parts and details of construction as hereinafter first fully set forth and described, and then pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings already mentioned, which serve to illustrate this invention more fully, and which form apart of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a display stand embodying my invention in its preferred form. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the same.

Like parts are designated by thesame characters andsymbols of reference in all the figures.

This display stand comprises in its entirety a preferably metallic, base A, of any desired and approved design, and of sufficient weight and spread of base to properly sustain the structure mounted thereon. In

this pedestal there is secured a tubular standard B, having at its upper end a socket 12, in which there is provided a fasteningscrew 13, by means of which a rod C, which telescopes in the tubular standard B, is held in adjusted position. At the upper end of this rod C there is provided a step-bearing 14, which rotatably sustains a carrier-plate 15, having a pivot 16, engaging the stepbearing 14, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 2.

The device so far described is constructed to support a form or block D, loosely Specification Letters Patent. 7 Application filed Noveniber 20, 1911'.- Serial No. 661,210.

Patented Jan. 2,1912.

I placed u on the carrier-plate 15, or secured thereto i desired, said block or form having approximately the contour of a human skull and the back portion of ahuman neck. This form or block is preferably molded from a composition. including a wax, paraffin,

starch, and a pink coloring matter, in a comparatively thin shell, which shell is then lined with plush or other suitable textile fabric 17, to reinforce the same and at the same time to improve. its appearance. It

will now be observed that this form or block -D is removably mounted upon its standard and rotatable thereon, so that a person engaged in trimming ladies hats,

the same from its'suppor't to examine the work from a distance. to observe the effect thereof; and thatby raising and lowering the rod C by loosening and tightening the screw 13, the position of the form D may be so adjusted vertically,- as to be most suitable and convenient for the operator.

I have heretofore stated that the form or block D is preferably cast from a particular composition of matter which lends itself most readily for melting and casting in a mold; but it is evident that other material, such as plaster of Paris, papier mach, and similar compositions may be employed without departing fromthe scope of my present invention.

The device heretofore described, in addition to the purposes mentioned for which it may be employed, is also well adapted for use as a display fixture in stores, show-windows, and for other purposes which will readily suggest themselves to persons having use for an adjustable display stand;

Having thus fully described thisinvention, I claim as new and desire to secure to me by Letters Patent of the United;

States A display and work fixture, comprising, in combination, a pedestal, a tubular standard supported by said pedestal, a rod conably supported upon said oarrier plate,- said as my invention, I have herelmto set my form belng a shell of cast matemal having hand in the presence of'two subscribing wit-.-
